Why You Should Go: Food trucks, pop-up restaurants and cheap eats seem to be all the rage these days, but no matter how trendy or funky these places are, there’s simply no substitution for the classically cool, sophisticated, upscale dining establishment. Reserve Restaurant, Bar & Lounge oozes old-world class, featuring an elegant dining room, copper-top bar, over 100 bourbons and live jazz. The brand new Reserve has drawn rave reviews, even earning an OpenTable Diners’ Choice Award in the Romantic category. Perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner, let Reserve treat you to an afternoon or evening of elegant decadence.

What You Should Try: Featuring brunch, lunch, bar and dinner menus, Reserve is always ready to serve you. Lunch favorites include the Duck Reuben or Reserve Raw Bar Sampler, or one of four wood oven pizzas like Gorgonzola with Roasted Garlic. For dinner, a classic Wedge Salad, Tuna Tartare or Jumbo Lump Crab Cake make for exceptional appetizers, while made-to-order steaks (we love the 12 oz. 28 Day Aged Delmonico Rib Eye and the Reserve Certified Angus Beef 10 oz. Filet Mignon), and seafood like Monkfish “Osso Bucco” or Crisp Skin Striped Bass are sure to sate even the hungriest appetites. So kick things up a notch with this impossibly modern throwback.
